Anyone use Rinseless as their primary wash method?

Agreed. In the garage.
1) Spray entire car with ONR. 1 gallon is sprayed and only 1/2 gallon drips to the floor.
2) Wash entire car
3) Dry entire car.

Takes 28 minutes including wheels and quick interior wipe down.

Even with ONR, the city code enforcement tried asked me not to wash my car in the driveway. I had to show him that I wasn't using a hose and not one drop of water went down the storm drain.

Isn't that more of a waterless wash?

So, why do you prefer waterless over rinseless? I can see a place for both :)

I don't see those places for both.

Persuade me otherwise.
Perhaps: By sharing your places?

Thanks.

rinseless is cheaper. you can't do the garry dean wash method with waterless. if you have a business PLACE, then that is where you'd use it instead.

whatchu think bob?

Lol, well I was hoping to pick your brain (and everyone else's) as I am still inexperienced. I especially was looking forward to your opinions as I have already noticed you are very helpful on these forum's.

I'll happily give my take as it currently stands though.

For rinseless I like the idea of being able perform the wash in my garage with very little mess. It seems more economical than waterless. I can make a bucket of it and use towels as necessary to clean when I get home from work in the middle of the night. It seems to me as if a bucket will last quite some time this way.

For waterless it seems like it would be a bit more messy and therfore I'm not keen on doing it in my garage (have only done some spot cleaning with rinseless so far though). I know with ONR it takes more product per water for the waterless than rinseless. However I think for a dirtier car it would be better. I also believe if I were doing mobile detailing I would prefer this method with a spayer because it seems to me like it may be a faster process.

I look forward to your thoughts, thanks.

I'm happy with your explanation, except for:
-Where you mention "business PLACE"...
Use a rinseless or a waterless?

-"cheaper"...I understand your premise.
Cheaper is not always better. But it is cheaper.
(Is it perceived cost savings by consumers?)

-"Mr. Dean"...IMO, wasn't the originator, but he did put his name out there...and it stuck!
He's changed his rinseless Modus Operandi several times since it was first introduced.
So...Which Garry Dean wash method are you talking about?

i prefer to do a traditional wash, but rinseless washes have their place...

You know bob, I don't call it the "garry dean wash method" in my non web life, but it gets thrown around like a definition on the forums. I guess you can call it the "multiple wash towel/mitt in one bucket without reintroducing the dirty wash towel/mitt in the bucket method," but it's easier to give in and be a sheep. Is sheep singular or just plural? Anyway I call sealant "combat wax" in my business. I think it's smart to rebrand things if it benefits your business, or in this case, put your actual name on a technique and be the "originator." Who actually originated it? how long before he branded it was the wash method known?
 
lol kengo.

you know, when i first watched one of gary dean's vids and he said "i'm going to show you what i like to call the gary dean method", my thoughts were "wow... that is sooooo cheesy".

i get it, and it apparently worked, because i don't know what else to call it. if you mention it on here, most people will know what you are talking about.
 
I use rinseless and waterless primarily on my wife's black toyota, my car many times I just take it through the automatic car wash at my work. I know the horror and dread lol
 
I won't do a rinse-wash if the car hasn't been cleaned over a week.
But most of the time I use the RW every other day and love it :)

I worry about scratching the paint if it's just too dirty.

Please clarify... You spray entire car with ONR and then go back
and wash ENTIRE car followed by drying entire car. My question: it's actually possible to do entire car instead of panel by panel without having to worry about ONR drying up before you dry it
Off? Feed back please. :buffing:

Correct. I use a garden sprayer to pre-soak the car. Takes minutes. Then do a regular ONR wash for the entire car. Then dry the entire car. In the garage you will not need to do a panel at a time.

No. I'm still using a bucket and doing a regular ONR wash after presoaking the car first. Lastly, rinseless is safer than waterless.

Bob,
Ikeep a 2 gallon garden sprayer of UWW+ on hand. My process is
1- hose off car and drive into garage
2 - Spray down car with UWW+ and then prepare rinseless. This allows time for dwell. I use DG, ONR or UWW+ at rinseless dilution
3 - Use Microfiber Madness IncrediSponges to wash. I do one or two panels at a time, working top down.
4 -Blot dry with a Mothers Foam core MF.
5. Apply Ammo Hydrate to a damp Madness Dry Me Crazy MF and buff with a dry one of same.

If my wheels are real dirty, I bucket wash them before entering garage.

Whoa...Wait a minute!

IMHO:
This already "violates" the intended purposes of any rinseless wash processes.

I use a pressure washer and a rinseless together all the time. The way I see it is the purpose is to wash the car and do a good job. If I can get that done faster with a rinseless solution with great results - safely... then so be it.

Water restrictions was supposedly one of, if not the main reason for the revolutionary rinseless-wash invention.

Now if it's become a convention, (even when being combined with other, more water-consuming car washing methods) in areas of the World where there are no such current water restrictions:

And so on; and so on...
